Paul Leonard Plat

Subdivision platted at just five acres with lots averaging a third of an acre, Paul Leonard Plat sits within Shawmut Hills, where mature trees and rolling terrain have defined the northwest section of Grand Rapids for decades. The median home price hovers around $378K, and you're a nine-minute drive from downtown—close enough to matter, far enough to breathe. Grocery stores and restaurants cluster within a mile, with a transit stop a four-minute walk away, while Shawmut Hills Park sits just nine minutes on foot if you want to decompress. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and if you're the type who cares about actual walkability rather than marketing speak, the fitness score here is solid at 8/10—good streets for moving, less so for running errands on foot alone. The lots are modest, the houses range from fifties-era ranches to newer builds, and there's enough green around to justify the appeal without pretending this is something it isn't.
